We can help you with answers to some of the Community Foundation’s most frequently asked questions.

Submission Due Date

Your final report is due within one year from the date your organization receives notification of the grant award or 30 days from the completion of your project, whichever is sooner. Please note that in order to be eligible to reapply for funds through the Community Foundation, previous grants must be closed out which may mean submitting a final report in less than 12 months. Final reports should be submitted via the Foundation’s online grant portal.

Grant Extensions

If you need to request an extension to your grant period, please submit a formal, brief (one page) explanation, including the length of the extension (with a firm end date) to grants@gscf.org. Extension requests should be sent as soon as circumstances indicate one is needed, and well before the original final report due date. If your request is approved, the grant final report will then be due 30 days following the agreed upon revised end date.

Extra Funds

If following the completion of your grant period you have unspent grant funds the following actions can be taken. In either case, please also note the additional funds in the budget section of your final report:

Extra funds can be remitted to Community Foundation in the form of a check addressed to our partner, the Greater Salina Community Foundation, PO Box 2876, Salina, KS, 67402-2876. Please contact us at grants@gscf.org with the amount and estimated date of return.

You can request to utilize the remaining funds for continuing or separate projects that support the original intent of the application. Requests should be brief (one page at most) and sent to grants@gscf.org with the amount of funds and an explanation of how they will be used to support this intent.

What if I have forgotten my username or password?

Your username is your email address. If you have self-registered and forgotten your username, please email grants@gscf.org for assistance.
